Proofread leaves of two works: the last chapter of the novel "BeChanuto shel Mar Lublin" (In Mr. Lublin's Store) by Shmuel Yosef Agnon and the poem "Harchek Me'od" (Very Far Away) by Leah Goldberg. The leaves were sent to the writers before being published in a journal and were returned to the editorial staff with their handwritten corrections. [Jerusalem?, ca. 1964].
Presumably, the leaves were sent to Agnon and Goldberg in preparation for publishing them in issue no. 4 of the journal "Me'assef: Divrei Sifrut, Bikoret Vehagut", which was published in 1964 and was edited by Dov Sadan and Shlomo Tenai. Appearing on the leaves are two notes handwritten by poet Avraham Broides, who was presumably in contact with the two writers on behalf of the journal.
1. "The Final Chapter" (Hebrew), nineteen printed leaves. On the first leaf, a handwritten inscription: "My dear friend S. Y. Agnon, in order to prevent errors, we again trouble you, asking you to go through what you have written […], greetings, Avraham Broides" (Hebrew). Later, dozens of handwritten corrections and comments by S. Y. Agnon appear, some of a single letter, some of one word and some of a complete sentence.
[19] leaves (paginated 9-27), approx. 24 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes. Tears to the upper edges of some (not affecting the text).
2. "Harchek Me'od" (Very Far Away), a printed leaf with a poem by Leah Goldberg. On the upper margins, a handwritten inscription: "Dear Leah Goldberg, this is a proof before printing, please correct what needs correction and return immediately. As for the page-layout, the graphic aspect, it is not I who set the rules […] A. Broides" (Hebrew). Later appear a single correction and a comment: "It's fine! Thank you very much! L.G" (Hebrew).
[1] leaf (paginated 33), approx. 26 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes.
